HIS ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO SwINDLE WIDOW.
Wilkesbarre special to the Philadelphia Press
July 25, says: An investigation held to-day has
brought to light all the facts connected with the
Bronson pension matter IN which the Government
swindler, Oscar J. Harvey, is involved Mrs. Eliza
beth Bronson is widow, residing In the historic
village OF Wyoming. Her husband died ten years
ago. Three OF her sons served In the Army OF the
North during the rebellion. One died in the Army
and the eldest. Charley, was severely wounded
and came home to die. For his loss Mrs. Bronson,
by advice OF Oscar j. Harvey. her lawyer, applied
Tor pension over three years ago. On the day
that Harvey was arrested In this city he saw her
and obtained her signature to some papers which
he said were necessary. He told her that he
thought the pension would be granted, but that
she would not get the money until January next.
On July IL, i've days after he was arrested, Mrs.
Bronson received letter signed oscar J. Har.
vey," and dated in Washington, but, as the post
mark proved, mailed in WilkeSbarre. This letter
informed her that the pension had been granted
and the draft for s., ,7S3 drawn, and told her TO
call upon his brother, DR.. Oln +. Harvey, in this
city, who would give her the draft and explain
how She was TO- get the money. Harvey must
have known when here that the pension had been
granted and the draft drawn and had perfected a
scheme to have the money sent to his sister, Miss
3. Harvey, in this city, and through her he evil
IDENTIFY intended TO get possession OF 1t. But the
letter mailed in this city shows that he had an
accoMplice In the scheme, though who 1t was
there Is nothing to show. DIR. Olin +. Harvey
merely took temporary custody OF the draft and
other papers connected with the pension at the
request OF his brother.

argument in the Jacob Sharp y-of-proceedings

very restless night and as he felt very weak this
morning, he was not present. Mr.. Cochran sub
mitted two propositions on the appeal: LIST, that
the evidence before the jury was not suncient 20
warrant a conviction OF the defendant, and,
second, should he fail In this branch, that there
was error In the admission OF much OF the evi-
dence on the trial. Mr. Nicol objected 20 the dis
cussion the weight OF the evidence, saying that
Mr. Sharp's counsel had announced 10 him that
the argument would be confined 10 nine errors,
and now the people were brought 10 discussion
OF all the evidence In the case. Mr. Stckney said
that the defense had reserved the right to present
any errors for the consideration OF the court on
the argument OF this motion. Mr. Nc0l had 70

Hon. Geo. Foster, Canadian minister of marine
and fisheries, has returned from a three weeks
cruise among the American fishermen He visited
all the fishing grounds, talked with the Canadian
and Yankee fishermen, and became thoroughly ac-
quainted with the workings OF the fisheries pro-
lection service. Mr.. Foster says that Americans
are carefully observing the regulations. Accord
ing to report says Mr.. Foster, catches of fish by
Americans have been very small At this rate
they cannot prOfitably continue operations much
longer. The failure OF the fisheries on their own
coast this season has not improved matters, and
they are now dependent upon the American feet
in Canadian waters, which just now exceeds 125
sails.

Special Cable Dispatch to THK EVENING STAR
LONDON, July 26.-The house OF commons opened
last night with a coercion catechism between Mr..
Balfour and the Irish members. AT one time the
feeling ran so high that the liberals pressed Har-
court to move an adjournment OF the house In
order that the whole question might be dis
cussed. This will probably be done later by the
Irish members. The government was strongly
pressed by Professor Mcneil upon the point
whether the presence OF judges, even at a meeting
OF the pr1vy council converted them into agents OF
the executive government. To this no satisfac-
tory reply was forthcoming. The whole evenings
debate on the leaSe-hOld clauses was OF an eX-
tremely complicated and technical character. Mr..
Parnell took Q large share in II, being present
nearly all the time. Trevelyan's speeches at
Glasgow are doing great service to the liberal
cause from their frank yfgor and honesty. Reier-
